Shinjuku Musashinokan

Originally started as the Musashinokan in May 1920, it quickly became Tokyo's premiere independent high-class theater showing foreign films.

[2] It was also famous in the silent era for the erudite benshi narration of Musei Tokugawa.

It also occasionally showed Japanese films such as Teinosuke Kinugasa's A Page of Madness.

When it was rebuilt in 1968 as part of a multi-purpose building, occupying the seventh floor, it changed its name to the Shinjuku Musashinokan.

The Shinjuku Musashinokan still operates as a theater showing films on three screens.
